Just a little FYI for everybody on the list...

I've gone and forked most of the Release Engineering tools.  I no longer
plan on maintaining the "Gentoo" versions of catalyst, genkernel,
hwdata, or livecd-tools.  Instead, I am working on these projects under
my own domain and will be releasing them as "standalone" applications,
not under the Gentoo moniker.  Now, these projects always have been
"Gentoo Hosted Projects" and not really owned by the Gentoo project, but
continued issues from other developers has proven that many don't
understand this case.  As such, it was simply easier to break away from
the main project.  This also allows us greater flexibility in making
changes that would otherwise not be accepted within Gentoo.  All of the
current maintainers of these forks will be working on them in their new
homes, making the Gentoo-hosted versions essentially dead.

The projects are being hosted on wolf31o2.org and are currently being
hosted in a set of private git repositories.  I'll announce here when I
get a chance to get the public repositories online.  When I do, I'll
change the "catalyst-9999" and "genkernel-9999" ebuilds to reflect the
new repository locations.

I'll keep using this mailing list, for the time being, for my forks of
these projects.  I will be setting up my own lists, but see no real need
to move in a rush, seeing as how low-volume this list usually is.

Bug reports can be sent to this list or reported to Gentoo's bugzilla,
but I won't have permanent access to that location, since I am retiring
as a Gentoo developer.
